Description

MonkeyMote gives you a full-fledged wireless music remote control for your Android phone.

It fully supports the popular foobar2000, MediaMonkey, Winamp, AIMP and JRiver Media Center media players.

The app connects to the media player running on your Windows PC via your WiFi network and allows you to view information about currently playing tracks and control every important playback feature.

Key features:
• Playback control
• Display song information, lyrics and cover art
• View and control the current playlist
• Load playlists from your library
• Browse and search your media library and queue songs
• View and set song ratings
• Equalizer control (not supported for foobar2000)
• Save multiple connection profiles
• Small, fast, low resource usage, minimal permissions
• Easy to setup and use

All you need to do to get it working is to download and install the plugin installer for your media player from www.monkeymote.com

In case you run into problems when setting up the app or plug-in, please visit the support page at www.monkeymote.com first.

Please note that the automatic server discovery feature requires at least Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and is not supported by all devices. It is disabled by default on devices that are not running at least Android 4.4 due to an operating system bug that can trigger reboots on some devices.

Additional features are planned for future releases.

There's also a free version with a slightly reduced feature set: MonkeyMote Music Remote Lite

Very good app. I use it to control Mediamonkey. It has all the desired functions and it is reliable.

Works wonders for foobar2000 in Windows, the best free player for the OS. A little flakey in auto search sometimes. In Preferences<>Mediamote unchecking "Register with Bonjour" helped me. We don' need no stinkin' bonjour 'round heah. You can just click your Network Connections<>Details on your PC to get your IP and enter it/them manually. I've got both wired and WiFi entered and it will connect to either. AND MAKE SURE TO TURN OFF VPN ON YOUR PHONE OR YOU WILL NEVER CONNECT.

Great app, but I really miss the ability to playback locally on the phone like it can on the ipad.

Works great. It lacks customisation on user interface only (colour of the background at least minimum)

Worked easy. Foobar mote didn't work and was difficult.

Installed on various devices- only one device allowed to control my Foobar player on the laptop with music on the external HD at a time.

Have been using this for little over a month now: this is a no-frills to-the-point tool, does what it's supposed to do beautifully, more reliable than any other (usually overloaded) Android remote I tried. I couldn't care less about apps that take up 50 megs, take ages to start (on my slightly dated phone), and provide a million features that do exactly nothing to make my life easier. This is the opposite.
